Posting this knowing that there might be some pushback from those that say "just move on", but this seems to be a pretty comprehensive look at what went down with the recent Dybantsa show.

This article is from Matt Norlander on CBSsports.com.

Includes information from Leonard Armato, Dybantsa's business adviser, about the BYU deal, as well as AJ's current NIL deals with Red Bull and Nike.

I really have a hard time believing we were willing to match 5 million...

Alright, I'm headed over to the next track to catch the Mikel Brown, Jr train.

Anybody want to jump on with me? :)
Don't mean to be a downer and FWIW, Brown was just CB'd to Louisville.

Looks like we missed that train, also. :)

Is there anyone we're looking at ?
Expect most of the additions to be through the portal from this point forward. Oats has three 4 star guys onboard for next year and will hopefully be able to convince Holloway, Philon, Stevenson and Sherrell to return. Pretty decent chance that Philon and Reid are gone to the NBA. They will get Mallette back from redshirt next year along with Naas Cunningham. They lose a ton though and will need some mature guys from the portal.

We get Wrightsell back too, unless he decides to call it quits.

I'll be excited to see what Oats can do in the portal. He will work his magic as always. We do need another PG even though I think Aden will be solid again next year. His progression has really surprised me. He's one of our more dependable players.

We're going to need some length also, I'll be interested to see if there are any Nelson types in the portal come TP time. I hope that Sherrell will be able to fill Cliff's shoes next year, he has the size/ athleticism AND he can shoot.

I think they made the appeal. I don’t think there’s been a ruling.
Houston would fall under the same category, so technically there's no guarantee we get either of them back, but I think unless the NCAA just decides to flex its power since they rarely get to do so anymore, both of them will likely be granted.

Reid isn’t on anyone’s mock at the moment.
Reid has a ton of upside, but we haven't seen much of it yet in a Bama jersey. I'm truly hoping he delays his NBA aspirations for another year because I think he could really bloom/blow up next year.

To an extent, the same for Philon, but his potential is off the charts especially if he can improve his 3 ball.

Cunningham
Reid
Mallette
Maybe Philon

I don’t see Stevenson back.
Same on Stevenson. He's a mystery this year. I know he flirted with the NBA but I just don't know if he's got the game for the league just yet.

I know nothing, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him transfer back home and wear the baby blue if he does anothe year of college.

FWIW, I think at some point his potential will come forth and he'll be a very good player. He's got all the intagibles to be a very good NBA player. But he's got to find his shot somewhere along the way.

Hoping Sherell continues his developement. For such a big, thick dude he's pretty nimble and as you mention he actually has a 3 point shot.

I don't think I've seen Cliff take a shot further than the charity stripe and that was only because he's shooting a FT. If Sherrell develops his 3 ball more, it'll create incredible dillemmas for the opposing defenses to choose to guard him with another big, while opening up lane space for cutters and layups (not to mention his ability to pick and pop at the top of the key) OR if they sag on him he can shoot wide open 3s.

This would be a huge offensive developement if it comes to pass. Not sure we've had that player yet in CNO's system (the #5 who could consistently shoot the 3 and put the defense in a bind over it).
